A huge part of this Apostolate is the ability for men to grow in their faith by being a part of Rekindle The Fire meetings that take place at various chapters in the diocese every month. Every meeting includes a scripture reflection, catechesis and food, and at the larger parishes, will also include a faith share.

Be The Man God Wants You To Be!

The goal is for men to increase their spirituality to become better men, fathers, husbands, brothers, and leaders in the community. We hope you share this common belief and would like to join us at one of the following parishes in the diocese on the dates listed below. Please contact the men mentioned below to ensure the meeting is taking place at that time, but please join us for some good fellowship as you continue on your faith journey.

Pure Hearts" Text Ministry to Help Men Grow in Sexual Purity

RTF Launches New Text Ministry!

Among the greatest evils in our world today is pornography. It's negatively affecting Catholic men and boys. Rekindle The Fire Men's Ministry has launched a new text message ministry called Pure Hearts, to support men in living out their desire for sexual purity. This free, confidential service will strengthen and inspire you by way of biblical passages, saint quotes, and sexual purity tips sent to your phone 3 times a week.

We are Catholic men who seek to Rekindle the Fire of Christ's love within us, and become better leaders, friends, husbands, fathers and sons; the men God calls us to be, through prayer, fellowship, faith and spiritual service to our family, parish and community.
